Please help,
I use to use Yoast SEO, but I recently moved to Rank Math SEO. I noticed on Google that the site isn’t showing its snippet title and text. Please help.

Hello and thanks for getting in touch with us.
I will share with you a guide our users usually find useful and if it doesn’t help you, we will continue helping you with this.
​
​1. First of all, I am assuming that you have already changed the SEO Meta Title and Meta Description with the help of Rank Math:
Add a Meta Description in Classic Editor:Add title and description in Gutenberg:
​
​2. Then, ensure that this is the setting in the Schema tab if Rich Snippets are enabled on your website:
​
​
​To reiterate, the Schema title must show %seo_title% and the description should show %seo_description% – this will ensure your SEO title and SEO Description that you set up via Rank Math can also be used for your schema details:
​
​3. The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:

4. If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.
​
For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
a.
b.
If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
​
​Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Hi,
I am afraid I am not seeing the noindex tag on the homepage:
This is with Rank Math enabled and Yoast disabled.
It was likely a temporary issue and the noindex no longer exist.
Let us know if there is any other URL where you are seeing a noindex tag.
